Biomass Resource Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
An upcycling lab that makes cellulose nanofibers from agricultural and food waste.
AboutAbout the lab
Turning food and agricultural waste into nanofibers.
The Biomass Resource Chemistry Lab studies upcycling, which puts agricultural and food waste to use as resources.
The lab extracts cellulose nanofibers from waste such as spent coffee grounds and examines their structure and properties.
It also works on Pickering emulsions stabilized by these nanofibers.
Key terms
- Cellulose nanofibers
- A material made by turning cellulose, the main component of plant cell walls, into fibers only nanometers thick
- Upcycling
- Turning things that would have been thrown away into something of higher value than the original
- Pickering emulsion
- An emulsion in which two immiscible liquids, such as water and oil, are kept mixed as fine droplets by the action of tiny particles
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the use of cellulose nanofibers extracted from agricultural and food waste as a material that stabilizes Pickering emulsions. It also examines the structure and water dispersibility of new holocellulose nanofibers obtained from spent coffee grounds.
